Explanation

In Cisco ESA, Mail Flow Policies define how the appliance handles incoming connections from specific senders or sender groups. The 'Connection Behavior' setting within a Mail Flow Policy controls whether the ESA accepts, rejects, or relays messages for a given connection. To allow internal SMTP servers to relay outbound email through the ESA and have that traffic governed by Outgoing Mail Policies, the Connection Behavior must be set to 'RELAYING.' This designates the connection as a trusted relay source, enabling outbound policy enforcement to apply.
